Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Are You Alright, President Presgrave?

As soon as Grace left, Anastasia looked at Elliot as the man stood in front of her. Even though she tried hard to control her expression, she couldn’t contain the bitterness that spread in her heart.

Suddenly, Elliot let out a cough, which caused Rey to remind him, “President Presgrave, you forgot to take your medicine this morning.”

Anastasia’s gaze immediately locked on Elliot. For some reason, after two days of not seeing him, she felt that he had lost weight and his face had paled. Did he catch a cold?

He shook his head. When he looked at her, she quickly turned away, not wanting him to think that she was worried.

“I’m here to make a statement too,” uttered Elliot in a low voice.

“Okay. Go ahead!” After saying that, Anastasia turned around and wanted to leave.

Rey quickly took the opportunity to offer, “Miss Tillman, let me send you off.”

As she walked toward her car, he followed suit and said, “Please be gentle with President Presgrave. He’s sick.”

“Anyone can fall sick. Isn’t that normal?” Anastasia turned to him.

“No, President Presgrave is suffering from a severe cold and a heart problem this time. Ever since he returned from saving you that day, he hasn’t slept for two days. He started coughing last night and he doesn’t look well either. After a check-up, they discovered a problem with his cardiac regulation,” explained Rey.

As she tightened her grip on the door handle, she uttered, “Tell him to take his medication on time!”

“Sure. Drive safely, Miss Tillman.” Rey had mentioned everything that he had to say.

Once Anastasia left the police station, she drove to her father’s company. Throughout the drive, all she could think of was Elliot’s pale face. He’s an adult! How can he forget to take his medication? Even my son can remember such an easy task.

When Anastasia arrived at Tillman Constructions, she entered her father’s office. There were a few key personnel in a meeting with him as he instructed her to take a seat and sit in for the meeting.

She tried her best to understand their conversation. However, she wasn’t familiar with the construction industry at all, so she had a hard time comprehending the minutes of their meeting.

At lunchtime, Alex came. The moment he saw Anastasia, he couldn’t help but feel butterflies in his stomach like he usually did.

“Who are you?” Elliot’s voice sounded chilly.

“I’m Alex Hunter. We’ve met before, President Presgrave.”

“Where is she?” an unhappy Elliot questioned.

“She’s gone to pick Jared up, and I’m waiting for her at the school gates. Is there something you want to tell her? I’ll pass on the message for you.”

“It’s fine.”After saying that, Elliot hung up the call.

Hearing that, Alex smirked. His purpose was to create a false impression that he was close with Anastasia so that Elliot would be jealous and disappointed in her.

Little did he know that this phone call was more than just a disappointment to Elliot.

Elliot, who was sitting in Rey’s car, suddenly felt suffocated and started coughing violently. Seeing that, Rey quickly parked his car by the roadside and opened the backseat door while asking, “President Presgrave, are you alright?”
